Understanding children
Each child is different, not just in their physical appearance, interests and abilities, but in the way they view life. It's important to get to know your child as an individual, who they really are, in order to help them develop their potential. The Understanding Children course and articles below will help with this.
Understanding Children course
Understanding Children course notes - 'It has been said, 'Aim at nothing and that is what you will get.' Children don't bring themselves up. We know that if we neglect a young child physically, he would die - but it is all too easy to not really be sufficiently aware of our child's emotional and spiritual needs.' The Understanding Children course is a practical course which helps you to identify your child's temperaments and which offers helpful practical suggestions on bringing up children.
